We left the house only ten minutes late and arrived at Little River five minutes early. The "Check Engine" light came on 20 minutes out of Port Alberni but the car's electrical system is gimped too so we ignored it and it, eventually, went off again. The ferry to Powell River was, of course, ten minutes late leaving.

WARNING! Do not lean forward while sitting on the auto flush toilets on BC Ferries. Your dairy-air will be sprayed with whatever is in the toilet bowl when you lean forward and you will have to wait until you get to your evening's accommodations before you can shower and change.

At 12:30 we discovered a pretty, little, waterside park where we stopped for a picnic lunch. Then we continued on to the Saltery Bay ferry terminal to catch the Queen of Tsawwassen to Earls Cove.
